huidige werkzaamheden/current occupation

Meroz was appointed coordinator of the masters programme Conceptual Design in Context at the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2009. Her present practice concerns functional objects and their representation (particularly through text), in a constant search for the points where an idea becomes a thing and vice versa. Her design and research work are complementary, motivated by an interest in renegotiating the representation of space and the space of representation.
